I think it is time for tea.

WARDED TO BARTEMIUS CROUCH.
Bartemius, why are our people dying? I am not naive enough to believe everyone will survive this war, but no, I did not think they possessed the strength to kill Rodolphus Lestrange. I do not want my father to be next, if he should ever become a target. You lived in our house. You ate our food. It is not wrong of me to think you owe him your protection, even though you are much weaker and thus far more likely to die.

Is it too much to hope that Gaius Travers was killed in the battle? I suppose it is. I concede he has done a lot for our cause, for my father and what we believe in, but he is not made of husband material. I cannot even describe the material he is made of, and I certainly do not mean that in a good way. My father sees something in him that I am too uncompromising to acklowedge, and though I trust my father, I cannot help but think he is finally becoming senile. He is getting old, as it were. I can see it in his face. He is not the man he once was. He is an old man.
Professor Dumbledore is dead and confessedly, I am saddened by this news when I should be celebrating. Another victory under our belt. He was obviously on the wrong side, but still I remember him from Hogwarts as kind and impartial. I do not think I wanted him dead, but war is not about what we want so much as what we need. Hearing about Professor Dumbledore causes other things to come to mind from that time, but I must continue to move in the direction of my future instead of dragging my feet, wishing I were a child again. I must not wonder what Pettigrew is up to now, or wonder if he has gained any weight since I last saw him. He likely has, but that is unimportant.
I saw three hummingbirds today.

My father has lost his mind. Gaius Travers is not worth my time. He is beneath me, and I would rather swallow my own tongue.
VERONICA.
Congratulations. The wedding was beautiful.

PRIVATE.Should I put effort into doing more for the Foundation? That is a question of which I do not know the answer. I am comfortable appearing neutral, not getting too involved, and maintaining the admirable reputation my father has built for our family. Our name has not yet been besmirched, and I like it this way. It is easier this way. The public cannot know of his involvements, as even I am not privy to the details. In retrospect, I prefer not knowing. I like believing we are perfect. We are perfect, my father most of all.
I am at a point where I no longer care to remember my life at Hogwarts. I once missed my childhood, and I still do, but I truly have nothing to complain about now. I can no longer climb trees and catch butterflies, but I am content.
I am excited for the summer as it slowly approaches. There is much to look forward to.

Why is Pettigrew leaving me comments? I thought he was dead, for pity's sake. I do not need more complications in my already troubled life. Yes. Very, very troubled.
I have not been able to sit down and have a meaningful conversation with my father in some time now. He is understandably preoccupied with his duties at the hospital, and I do not reproach him for that. Nevertheless, I do miss when we were able to talk uninterrupted. My governess is always here to listen and not patronise, but that is not the same -- she is not my mother.
Perhaps I require duties of my own, marriage and children aside.

Try as I might not to care about such things, I have to wonder why Rabastan Lestrange has not yet proposed to me. These weddings, one right after the other, make me anxious. This is not to say I want him to propose (it is quite the contrary; I do not want him to propose) -- in actuality, I want him to want to propose, and I want him to want me to want to be proposed to.

PRIVATE.Gaius Travers is foolish to declare such things where anyone can see. However, we are kidding ourselves if we do not realise the truths hidden in his crude, philistine statements. Like many of my young female acquaintances fresh out of Hogwarts, I will soon have to be married, have children, raise those children, and possibly organise a party or two in between. Thrilling, yes? I plan to coast through this lifestyle that was chosen for me without worries, and I doubt anyone truly expects any different. There are few who are like Bellatrix Lestrange, and perhaps it is meant to be that way.
---Despite Rabastan Lestrange's apparent issues with self-absorption, I am enjoying my time with him. It surprised me that he agreed to purchase flowers with me. I should consider myself fortunate -- Jacqueline is handling everything surprisingly well, but I do not wish to be in her shoes.

I want flowers -- the rooms in my home need brightening. I think I will go purchase some tomorrow.
You may join me, if you are willing and available.

Marriage. Marriage. Pregnancy. Marriage. Tea party.
I wonder how long it will be before Jacqueline is a mother. Perish the thought.

Intriguing choice, my love. But it was not a choice, was it? If it was, you have not been a very informative friend. WARDED TO RABASTAN.
Hmm. Suffice it to say, I am perplexed. However, I will refrain from making premature comments about the situation.

Families are returned to us, the state of the world is in our favour, and the Dark Lord provides yet another reason to have faith in him. The future is finally looking the way it should.
I have never been so happy.

These little scandals make life much more interesting.
Of course, now the Foundation's reputation is in question and must be saved. We should not forget to be careful about what we say in public -- suffice it to say, I think I enjoy learning from other people's missteps.
In other news, I am glad Christmas is over, and I hope everyone got what they wished for. Christmas, for me, is somewhat depressing. It only amplifies how much I miss my mother.
